Alarms

From ION version 12.0.6 you can model monitoring templates, called “alarm templates”, on the server side. You can use these templates in the Alarms mobile application or Alarms homepage widget to define user-defined monitors, called “alarms”.

The templates contain this configuration information:

• The documents to be monitored
• The attributes from these documents that should be evaluated

The definition of the business conditions is delegated to the end user. The result of alarms which evaluate documents are also alerts, similar to the alerts generated by the monitors from the Event Management module.

Alarms are configured by business users who must monitor a specific event that must occur in a short period of time. To monitor a recurring or generic event, you must create a standard Event Management monitor, that remains active for an indefinite period of time.
